In this week’s episode of the It All Adds Up podcast, we share some of our top strategies for beating the rising cost of living.
Learn how Jess manages to pay just $80.49 a month for private health insurance and Dom’s tip for how every Victorian household can score $250 in free money – along with a swath of other rebates – this year from the government.
Whether it’s finally summoning the courage to ask for that pay rise, reviewing those pesky subscriptions or scoring a 10 per cent discount at the grocery till, we reckon we have you covered with some great ways to save.
We also answer another listener question on the best way to invest for children (spoiler alert: it’s complicated from a tax perspective), and Jess finally shares her toilet paper savings tip she’s been promising since our preview episode.
